Title: An improvement in or relating to lays for looms for weaving
IPC: D03D49/60
Filed: 1929-10-18
Abstract: 327,373. Luvax, Ltd., (Auto Research Corporation). March 18, 1929. Actuating by springs and gas pressure; single - acting piston pumps; strainers; suction and delivery reservoirs.-In a lubricating system for motor vehicles or other machines, an automatically-operated pump discharges slowly from a reservoir into an accumulator. As applied to a motor-vehicle, the pump may be operated directly from the engine or vehicle, or may be operated by the engine suction, exhaust, cylinder compression, or variation in temperature of the engine cooling water, or by the vibration of the vehicle. As shown, the pump is operated by the alternate suction and trip operations of the fuel vacuum tank. The pump cylinder 26 is formed in a casting 25 at the bottom of a reservoir r, the piston being connected by rods 28, 37 to a diaphragm 30 closing a chamber 31 connected to the vacuum tank. Passages (not shown) lead from the reservoir to the space below a felt filter 44 peripherally clamped below the pump by a cap 47. A metal plate 51 clamped above the filter has spring tongues 52 which normally maintain the filter bulged downwards. A vent pipe 55 leads from the space above the filter to the upper part of the reservoir, which is vented through the filling plug c. During suction periods in the vacuum tank, the diaphragm draws the piston 47 upwards, stressing a spring 32, whereby a charge is drawn into the pump from the space above the filter, and the latter is flexed upwards. When the vacuum tank trips, the suction is relieved and the discharge stroke of the pump is effected by the spring 32. The fingers 52 again flex the filter downwards and lubricant seeps slowly upwards therethrough. The stroke of the pump is determined by an adjustable stop 55. A pressure gauge 93 is connected to the pipe 43, and a bypass is provided around the pump outlet valve 41 so that the pressure in the pipe can fall, so as to give an indication when the reservoir is empty. The by-pass is constituted by a slight clearance around the threaded seat plug 41<1>. The pump may be fitted with a relief valve discharging into the space above the filter. In a modified form of pump, the chamber 31 is connected to the engine intake manifold, the spring 32 is arranged so as to raise the piston, and linkage is introduced between the diaphragm and plunger to cause these members to move in opposite directions In this case, the suction stroke of the pump is effected by the spring during the relatively short periods of engine acceleration, when the intake suction is reduced, and the discharge stroke is effected by the action of the normal suction on the diaphragm. Specifications 237,958 and 261,967 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to protective devices for induction motors
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 1929-10-21
Abstract: 330,859. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Macmillan, C.). Oct. 23, 1928, [Convention date]. Safety arrangements for induction motors comprise a circuit-breaker which is adapted to disconnect the primary winding of the motor from the supply at a value of rotor current which decreases as the rotor speed falls off and as the ventilation is consequently reduced. The circuit of the trip coil 14 is adapted to be closed by either of the bimetallic strips 18 which are heated by coils 19 in circuit with the slip-rings and controlling resistances. At normal speed, the rotor frequency is low and consequently a large proportion of rotor current flows through the shunt impedances 21, but as the rotor speed decreases and the frequency of rotor current increases, an increasing proportion of the current flows through the coils 19. At normal speed, therefore, the coil 14 is not energized until the rotor is overloaded, and at reduced speed the rotor current which will energize the coil 14 is made small enough to prevent overheating of the motor.
